PREFACE 


There are already a vasl nninber rtf liandhodks and lcxtl)»oks 
on the uses of Portland Cement and (k)nei(;lt' i)iil)lislie<l in m.mv 
languages. In the English language tlieii' .iii' (liose lium (in'.d 
Britam and Amenca wliicli are the u.sual lexlbnnks usi'd in the 
Bntish Empire, but these aic not always cxstly obtainable liy 
cement users m India and we tlieruforo hope that this handbook 
vail be found useful. 

There are still some people who are inclined to believe that 
any matenaJ manufactured in India cannot be as good as the old 
imported article to whicli they were accustomed yearn ago, and 
therefore steadfastly endeavour to obtain the imporlnl sudieli' 
refusing to reahse that the home product will give tliem better 
satisfaction at a lowei cost ; Modem Portland CeraeiU is ,i sens! 
tivc material and undoubtedly gives its best results when used m 
a climate and temperature similar to that in which il was manu- 
facture. If for no other reason then, for this alone Indian Cement 
IS obviously the best for use in India. 

Some of the following notes and tables luivts been selected 
from the pubhcations of the Portland Cement As-soeiiition tif Ame- 
nca and tlic British Portland Cement Assoeialioii to whom f>ui 
thanlcs are due for their permission to use this information.

CHAPTER L 


PORTLAND CEMENT. 

The development of the Fcrtland Cement Trdustry in India 
has advanced rapidly durirg 11 c last ten 5 cars. Until 1913 there 
was not a single cem] any manufacturing cement in India and all 
that vas used had to be imported. 

The first cempany to ho cstaljli^ihcd was the Tndin.n Cement 
Company, with iis verks at PoiLurdai cn the coast of ICatliiawar 
State, which commented mai'.ufaclure in 1914, Other companies 
were formed in quick succcfsion unt 1 to-day theie are ten com- 
panies scattered all over India, each fullv equipped with llic modem 
plant and turning out high class Portland C(’mcnt guaranteed up 
to, and generally considerably exceeding, the requirements of tlio 
British Standard Specification.

The advantages to tlie population of the nninln*. owing to 
this estabhshment of a most important tiade an' olnious, and 
cement with its many forms and uses is now avtulnblc in flu' wlu*l(' 
population with tlie result that many works of vast impoitaiuo 
to W advancement of civilization, such as railways, mails, imga- 
tion, drainage, buildings, etc., have been carried out with spe*''! 
and economy that were not possible heretofore. 

A glance at the map will show how widely the emupauies avo 
distributed. 

The rapid growth of the popularity of cement niiuiufactuifd 
in India testifies to the faith that Engineers and Huildcis have on 
the product. That that faith has been justified is evident from 
the succes.. of the vast engineering enterprises undertaki-n and 
brought to a successful conclusion with the use of Portland t'l mt'nt 
manufactured.

STORAGE OF CEMENT. 

Cement being a lughly hydroscopic matenal must be protect- 
ed from damp. In a country such as India, with an extensive 
range of chmatic conditions, it is difl&cult to lay doTO univcrss.*' 
rules for the guidance of the cement user 

During the dry weather, m some parts of the country, where 
the relative humidity of the atmosphere, even at mght is low, 
httle or no protection may be necessary other than tarpa^^hIl 
thro\TO over the stack of cement saclcs. But near the coast, or 
anywhere else when the atmosphere is moist during any part of 
the day or night, greater precautions are necessary In places* 
where and dunng periods when heavy ramfalls have to be contend.- 
ed with very particular care must be given to the proper storage of 
cement to see that it is properly protected from the damp 

Whenever there is any possibihty of the Cement bemg exposed' 
to moist atmosphere it should be stored in a well constructed^ 
godown, or shed. The cement should not be allowed to he m con- 
tact with the ground but either on two layers of bncks or better 
stiU on a timber floor raised about six mches above the groTind. 
The old necessity of aeratmg cement before use in the works in- 
order to coo], any hot cement is absolutely done away with, by 
modem methods of manufacture Moreover aeration of modem- 
cement is hkely to detenorate it by aUowmg it to absorb moisture 
from the atmosphere 

The best method of stonng cement is, in bulk either in large 
silos or bms such as are provided at the Cement Manufacturing 
Company's works 

It is therefore advisable not to store greater quantities of' 
cement than are likely to be used in the immediate future. Thus a 
supply of fresh cement will always be ensured. On large works 
where it is necessary to store a few weeks supply, the bags should 
be stacked in batdies of about 400 and they should not be stacked 
more than 10 bags high If stacked to greater heights than^ this 
the lower bags are subjected to too great a pressure and are liable 
to burst. 

For estimating the space occupied by cement in bags in storage 
it may be assumed that 20 tons cement equalling 400 b^s stacked. 
10 bags high will occupy a floor space 15 ft. by 8 ft. 6 inches and. 
stand about 6 feet high. 



CHAPTER 11. 


CONCRETE MAKING. 

Materials — ^Aggregates — ** Fine Aggregate.” 

The usual specification for Fine Aggregate for use in Concrete 
work IS that it shall consist of sand or stone screenings or other 
inert materials with smular charactenstics, or shall be a combina- 
tion thereof and be clean, well graded, hard, strong, durable, 
uncoated grains, free from any deletenous matter such as loam, 
clay, shells, soft oi flaky particles or any orgamc matter, and for 
most work it is usual to specify that it shall all pass through a sieve 
haying holes not greater than inch square. In some instance 
this dimension may be raised to J inch square. 

Teats. 

(1) The first rough test for the suitability of the sand is the 

feel to the hands It should feel clean. Also if 
rubbed in the hands and leaves any stain or dirt it is 
most probably unsuitable 

(2) More Accurate Tests should be made m the case of any 

doubt 

The Sedimentation test is probably the most common and 
easiest m practice. This consists of shaking vigorous- 
ly a selected sample of the sand in a bottle with an 
equal volume of clear water. After shaking the con- 
tents of the bottle it should be allowed to settle for 
one hour when the quantity of any silt which settles 
on top of the sand should not exceed 5% of the total 
volume of the onglnal sand 

If the sand does not comply with these requirements it 
may be washed and the test earned out again until 
a sufiicient degree of cleanliness is attained. 

Grading. 

Sand that is well graded will have a lower proportion of voids 
and produce concrete that is more workable than sand with* 
particles all of one size. 

All sand should pass on i inch sieve and not more than 15% 
retamed on inch sieve. 

Fme sands are uneconomical in the u|e of cement in that 
they give a low yield of concrete and present a large surface area 
for coatmg ; also, they stiffen the mix. 

AU sand should be retained on a sieve having 100 me^he? per 



Coarse Affgregato, 

The usual specification for coarse aggregate^ is that it ^ 
consist of either broken stone or gravel or other inert matena 
a combination of these and shall be clean, hard, strong, dura ) , 
uncoated, well-graded, free from dust or friable, thm clongaicu 
or laminated pieces and containing no organic or other aclotciious 
matter. The use of Dirty Aggregate will only result in weak ni> 
satisfactory concrete. In case of any doubt, the aggi’cgate snoma 
be washed Washing is most efficiently carried out by means^ ot a 
nischanical washer but m some upcountry places, and on small 
works the cost of a mechanical washer may not be justinid. 

In that event, hand washing by coohes may be rcsortc a to wiln 
some degree of success This consists of placing the aggregate in 
baskets easily handled and either dipping them in a tank and so 
washing out any impurities or by w^aslung small batches of 
gate under a strong stream of water from a liosi pipe. Wiien 
using baskets it is important to see that the holes in them do not 
exceed J incli, otherwise the smaller particles which arc very 
important to the concrete will also be washed out. 

Grading of Aggregates. 

For the purposes of testing sand and aggregates and calcu- 
lating the fineness modulus a standard S2t of sieves should be used. 

The set of sieves Imown as the Tyler Standard Sjt, has the 
clear opening in each sieve, double the opening in the next smaller 
sieve.

Water; 


Water used in Mixing Concrete must be clean, free from 
oil, alkali and Acid. In ereneral. water that •fi+ 









Sea Water or any water containing ‘ialt should on no account 
be used for concrete incorporating reinforcement as the salt will 
attack and corrode the steel.

Water Cemont Ratio. 

It is now definitely established that the strength of a 
concrete mixture depends on the quantity of mixing water in 
the batch expressed as a ratio to the volume of cement, so long 
as the concrete is workable and the Aggregates are clean and 
structurally sound. The strength of the concrete decreases as 
dhe water ratio increases. 



In tlie accom- 
panying diagram 
Curve A may be 
used for design 
where the water- 
cement ratio is 
very carefully con- 
trolled by accurate 
quantities of water 
cement and aggre- 
gates with a proper 
correction for the 
free water con- 
tained in the ag- 
gregates. Curve 
R should be used 
for design when 
normal conditions 
of water control 
and measurement 
of Aggregates 
exist and as may 
bp fprmpd 







Proportioning. 

Fine and Coarse Aggregates. 

The total quantity of water to be used with a sack of cement 
and its fixed proportion of water should be such as to avoid both 
over-wet and extremely dry mixes. The proportions of fine and 
coarse should be such as to avoid foolish extremes in either direc- 
tion. Even where it gives the lowest cost, too high a ratio of fine 
to coarse is undesirable as it results in concrete of a lower weight 
and greater expansion and contraction with changes m moisture 
content. 

Too lugh a ratio of coarse to fine aggregate is undesirable* 
as it produces a harshness of the mix that makes placmg difficult 
and tends to the production of honeycombmg and stone pockets. 

A desirable range in the proportions of fine to coarse for 
average materials is mdicated in the following table. Occasional- 
ly^ aggregates of such gradmg will be found ; the proportions outside 
lie range of this table will be both desirable and economical.

Slump Test. 

No definite measure of consistency and workability of concrete- 
has yet been devised but the slump test affords a useful indication 
of both these properties. A slump test is no absolute measure of 
consistency because it does not distinguish between the character 
of mixes. For example, a harsh coarse mixture cannot be said 
to have exactly the same consistency as one with a large propor- 
tion of sand even though they have the same slump. 

When the correct mixtures and proportions have been> 
ascertained, the slump test however will prove a useful indication 
on the work if any change has occurred in the character of the- 
matenals bemg used, and also any change in the water content of 
the aggregates. 

The standard slump mould is shown in the diagram and also 



The method of carrying out a slump test should Ix' as follows 

The mould shall be placed on a flat non-absorbent surfiiee, 
'such as a smooth plank or slab of concrete, and the oixTiitoi sli.ill 
bold the form firmly in place by standing on tli<‘ f<H>t j»iei es. ‘1 he 
mould shall be filled to aiwut one-fouilh of its height with compete 
which shall then bo punned using exactly Jo strokes of a } ni. lod 
pointed at the lower end. 

The filling slrall bo complefed in STiccessive layers siinihir to 
the first and the top struck off so tliat the inouhl is exactly lilletl 
The mould shall then Ix; n moved by Ixung laiscil ver(i<MlIv. imme- 
diately after Iwing filled. The moulde«l concrete shall then bo 
allowed to subside until quiescent and the height of the sjurimen 
measured. 

The consistency shall be recorded in terms of ineJu's of sub-

HOW TO MAKE GOOD CONCRETE. 

Until the recent discovery that the strength, dumWlity and 
-water-tightness of concrete are dependent upon the proportion of 
water to cement it was customary to specify mixtures as one part 
■ cement to a certain number of parts of sand and pebbles. Modern 
practice is to state the amount of mixing water for each sack of 
cement, vaiying according to the dass of work. For example 
the recommended mixture for footpaths and that class of work is 
4i g^ons of water per sack of cement, when sand and pebbles 
.ftrc m a moist condition. Moisture in +Ka 



were absolutely dry. Had these been dry, the correct amount of 
water would be 5i gallons for each one sack batch. 

Cemeyii Binds Parhcles Together . — ^In a concrete mix, cement 
and water form a paste which, upon hardening, acts as a binder 
cementing the particles of sand and pebbles together into a 
peiTOanent mass. The use of loo much mixing water thins or 
dilutes the paste, weakemng its cementing qualities. It is im- 
portant that cement and water be used in proper proportions to 
get the best results. This is dependent upon the work. 

The acccmpan\nng table gives recommended quantities of 
water for dificicnt classes of work and also suggests proportions 
of cement to stnd ana pebbles to use in trial batches. Ihe trial 
batch for footpaths is r part cement to 2 parts sand and 3 parts 
pebbles (1-2-3 mix). It may be necessary to change the amounts 
of sand and pebbles as wiU be described to obtain 0 smooth, plastic 
workable mix. Under no conditions vary the amount of water 
from the quantity shown. 

The trial proportion (1-2-3) suggested for footpaths may result 
in a mixture that is too stiff, too wet or which lacks smoothness 
and workability This is remedied by changmg shghtly the pro- 
portions of sand and pebbles, not the water. If the mix is too 
wet, add sand and pebbles slowly until the right degree of wetness 
is obtained, ^ If the mix is too stiff cut down the amounts of sand 
and pebbles in the next batch. In this way the best proportions 
for any job may be determined 

How to Obtain Workable Mixture. — h. workable mixture is 
one of such wetness and plasticity, that it can be placed in the forms 
readily, and that with spading and tamping will result in a dense 
concrete. There should be enough cement-sand mortar to give 
good smooth surfaces free from rough spots, and to bmd pieces 
of coarse aggregate into the mass so that they will not separate 
out in handling. In other words the cement-sand mortar should 
completely fill the spaces between the pebbles and insure a smooth 
plastic mix.^ Mixtures lacking sufficient mortar will he hard to 
work and difficult to finish. Too much sand increases porosity 
and cuts down the amount of concrete obtainable from a sack of 
cement. 

A workable mix for one type of work may be too stiff for 
another. Concrete that is to be deposted in thin sections like 
fence posts must be more plastic than for more massive constnic- 
tion such as walls A good rule to follow is to proportion the 
sand and pebhloi* to c^btain tlie greatest volume of concrete 
correct of plasticity for the work to be done.

Colour] ng of Concrete. 

Concrete can be made coloured almost to any shade require 
by adding colounng material. Only meta lie oxides should be use 
and not in proportions exceeding 15% of the cem nt content b 
volume. It should alwajs be nmcmlicrcd that the addition c 
colounng matcnal will weaken the concrete and more ccraen 
wiU therefoic be ncccssarj'. 

The colouring materials and the cement should be thoroughl; 
mixed together first before Ixirg added to the aggn'gatoe. Aftc'

Machine Mixit g. 

Care should be taken to sec* that the machine docs not run too 
slow or too fast. With most makes of machine mixers, instnic- 
tions as to speed are issued. With the majority of mac him s, speeds 
varj’ing from 15 to 18 revolutions will be most satisfactory. 

Recommended practice is to nui the mi-xcr for tw'o minutes 
after all the materials including water have been placed hi the 
drum.

Hand Mixing. 

Hand mixing .should In’ cariiod out under thorough control' 
and strict measures adoptotl to see that it is properly carried out. 

Mixing should be carried out on a clean jiavcd area or a water- 
tight timber platform at least 7 ft. by 12 ft. with strips fastened 
along tJiree sides to prevent materials being washed or shovelled 
)ff the platform during mixing. 

Mixing should be earned «iul by two men provided with 
«tjuare ended shovels (not powras) with which the material can be 
iftctl and turned. 

The measured dry sand for the batch of concrete should first 
le spread out on tlio platform making a level heap about 6 inches 
li-cp. On this the measured cement should be spread. Then 
he dry sand and cement should be turned over with the shovels 
it least three times until they are thoroughly mixed. The measur- 
d stone or gravel may now be added and the whole mixture turned 
ver dry again three times. The measured water may then be 
dded slowly througli a rose from a watering can wliile the mixture

CONCRETE ROADS. 


“v 'V/ ->;r -> ."J 


A. concrete road may be defined as one wliicli consists of a 
■ponolitlTic slab of Portland cement concrete which acts as a wear- 
ing surface and also as a load distributing unit. 

Xhcre are two t 3 ^es of concrete slabs, namely, one course and 
tw’o course. 

.4 om course concrete sla,b is sucli that the proportions of the 
materials comprising the concrete mixture are uniform throughout 
the entire depth. It is laid in a single operation except when 
reinforced, and whore mesh oi bar mat reinforcement is used 
it is coirstructed in two layers in almost a similar manner to the 
two course. The one course type is the most common. 

A. two course concrete slab as its name implies is a monolithic 
slab composed of two layers of'different proportions and/or aggre- 
gates. Xhe lower course is made of a lean nuxture and tho upper 
course of a richer mixture. The top layer is placed before the 
bottom layer has sot so that the turn combine mto a monolithic 
mas.s. 

Tire two course type has economical advantages in places 
whore local aggregates have low wear resisting powers anti tliose 
^iggregates may be used for the lower course and more suitable 
imported for u.se in tlie upper or wearing surface. 

Wlierc local aggregates are suitable, the simpler construction 
jf a one course type of slab with a well designed mixture is to be 
^referred. 

Subgrade. 

A study of the subgrade or foundation must be made before 
lie concrete slab can be designed and experience has aliown that 
he following principles are sound practice. 

Wliere the foundation has a good uniform bearing power, a 
ilain unreiniorced concrete section diould be used. Uniformity 
s of vital importance, as the subgrade must give an oven bearing 
o the slab. There must be no hard spots or ridges on which, the 
lab may rest, otherwise beam action will result. 

Wbero the foundation is poor, the slab may be increased in 
lepth or reinforced by bar mat or mesh, whichever is the more 
conomical. Money spent in careful drainage will often avoid 
he need for increased depth or reinfordng. 

The following foundations are dassified as poor from the 
oint of view of concrete roads. 






» t 



stresses in the concrete winch may cause cracking, Wlien 
becomes waterlogged it expands, and if frozen when in tins vv- 
condition it hfts the slab. 

Black Coif-on Soil, marsh and sill are also considered poor. 

The condition of these subgradcs may Ixi improved by mcai 
of proper drainage Soils of a clayey nature licing difficult 
dram should be protected as much as possililc from the presen 
of water. Ditches must be so designed that water will not stai 
in them and should be well away fioni the road. Diains may al 
be dug about 30 ft apart in order to cairy the water to the b» 
ditches Tlu’ise drains should be alKiiit 18'' wide at the lop ai 
about 6" at the bottom and filled witii eilliei diuknroi brok- 
stone. 

If howevei it is found to be luipiactiaiblc or luuiconoinii 
to drain certain areas such as spongy sections, a layer of sand 
sometimes placed on the subgrade or about 3" of clinkc-r or asht 
which IS tlien rolled to cambei. 

Sand is a good subgradc material if conlini'cl and piev(*nl' 
from flowing out from under the slab, and since watt'r sinks in 
it quickly, only shallow side ditches arc necessaiy

Washington, D C., after an investigation of the e(H)noinic val 
of reinforcement m concicte roads, an investigation tliat covi‘ii 
conditions on about 3.000 miles of concrete roa<ls both plain at

Summary of Conclusions. 

1. The amount of erackiiig and subsequent disinh 'grain 
is a function of time , tluis, tlie rate of cnicking is a mi*asure of t 
life 'of the concrete blab. 

2. Thu data show tliat steel rein[orci»meiit ledueed the ni 
of cracldng and thus incroasud the life of the slab. This ajipli 
both to concrete slabs and other surfaces laid upon a ('Oiicrc 
base. 

3. Crack reduction is mon* economically accomplislied 



4. A greater reduction wab afforded by small sti*ol mcmbeis 
closely spaced than by larger members wider spaced 

5. Increasing weight of mesh from 25 to 56 lbs. per 100 sq, 
ft, considerably rcducal cracldng, 

(). Mesh remfon'emenl, 25 to 56 lbs. per 100 sq. ft., reduced 
cracks 35 to 70 per cent in slabs of like thickness

but one additional inch of concrete leduccd cracks more tlum bnis

hold together fractured slabs. 

12. Har reinfoicemeut across transverso joints, without 
pnjper piovision for slijjpage and clearance, lesultcd in bieakago 
and subsequent expensive repairs. 

13. For long slabs, 75 to 100 feet or over, edge bar remfori'c- 
meiit with continuous bond caused comer craefe if the area of 
steel exceeded I sq, inch. 

14. A remarkable agreemi^nt was found to exist between 
results of observations on roads in service and results furnished by 
a wide range of experimental roads and laboratory tests. 

When it is necessary to consider the question of cither thicken- 
ing or reinforcing the slab, the relative costs of the two materials 
must be considered, and although the above conclusions arc interest- 
ing, yet it will be seen from the following figures that it would be 
cheaper in India to increase the depth of the concrete rather than 
to add reinforcement.

Prepur^on of the stihgrade . — ^As aliead}' emphasised, the 
subgrade must be so prepared that it will give a uniform bearing 
TO the concrete slab, and in the case of an old earth road the entire 
roadway should be ploughed to a depth of at least six mches, then 
lian'owed and compactcxl with a roller of 8 to lo tons. 

Where an old waterbound macadam road is being resurfaced 
with concrete it should be scarified to a depth of at least six inches 
and rolled as described above. 

An observance of the roller whilst in operation will indicate 
the existence of the bad or spongy spots, and the only remedy for 
these is to dram them by moans of tiles oi by trendies filled with 
stones. Where these areas are small, the soft mateiial may bo 
removed and replaced w'ith dry mateiial well tamped by hand in 
six inch layers. 

Where trenches cariying public iitihty mains, such as water, 
gas, conduits or sewers exist, these should Refilled with the material 
excavated therefrom, and consolidated by flooding with water 
if possible. These trenches must have a bearing power equal to- 
the adjacent ground, neither greater nor less. 

The slab is sometimes reinforced over these trenches. 

A half inch layer of sand should be laid on top of the prepared 
subgrade if possible ; this acts as a lubricant and allows the slab' 
to move freely. The sand must however he clean and free from 
clay. 

Forms. 

These must be very carefully laid to line and grade 
and supported on a uniformly firm foundation. Carelessly laid 
forms are the cause of many irregularities of the concrete surface 
and very often spoil the appearance of an otlierwise well constructed 
road. It must be remembered that the screed, tamper and finish- 
ing belt all operate on these side forms and by exercising a certain 
amount of care in this detail a smooth ridmg surface will & ensured. 

Cement should be in accordance with the Concrete Associa- 
tion of India’s General Specification for Portland Cement Concrete. 

Coarse Aggregates should consist of crashed rock or gravel 
and be composed of clean, hard, tough, durable material, free from 
vegetable or other deleterious matter and cubical in shape. They 
should bo well graded from 2j|r' to J". 

The fine a^regate should consist of clean hard durable uncoated 
particles free nom dust, mica, shells, shalb, alkali, organic matter 
or other deleterious substances. 

It must be weU graded from down ;about 25% to 35 %should 
be retained on a ^''screen, 80% to 90% should be retained on Vw 
screen and not more than 3 % pass a screen. 



'Sampling and Testing the Aggregate. — ^rei?tb arc l)ofu 

“construction is started, to determine th(' Mutability of materia 
proposed to l>e used and these should be earned out fiom time

There are certain easily conducted tests which may be carric 
out in the field that will provide quite a reliable standard of con 
parison, and if the material is ^tlll doubtful a leprcscntati^ 
sample must be sent to the laboraloiy

Continuous Construction. 

The concrolc slab is laid in oiio continuous opi ‘ration and at 
tlu* end of the day’s work it is finished off at a transverse bulklicad. 

Cracks arc bound to appear in this tyj^c of constnxetion even 
though the proper precautions are taken, due primarily to con- 
( Faction of the concrete. 

These cracks are a disfigurement and although they do not 
add much to the cost of maiiilenaiict' it is best to eliminate tliom 
if possible. 

Alternate Bay. 

'rile whole width of the lOud should hi' available, although it 
may also be done in half widths. 

The concrete is dejiositecl in alternate bays, and the iritei- 
niediale bays are filled m after lln‘ fonner have been cured, thus 
allowing the initial contraction to take place. 

Very often, however, these bays cnu'kdown the centie of the 
slab, and unless very carefully supervised, the slab at the constnic- 
tion joints may not be level, thus caubing abrasion and an unequal 
ri<Ung surface, «ukI as the jiublic judges the load by its binootlmcss 
this is to be avoided if ixissible. 

The transversi' joints are either at nght angles or at angle of 
6o® to th(» longitudinal axis of the road, and the length of the bays 
should not bi' more than 20 feet. Wliere diagonal joints tin* used 
the scrceding and tamping is done longitudinally, Ihai is the s<'reed 
and tamper rest on the transverse fomis. 

The joints in the alternate bay method arc usually plain butt, 
and the face of the alternate bays Ls somelimcb coated with a 
bituminous paint before laying thi* intermediate ones. 

Strip Method. 

This is the most sqcccssful method of avoiding cracks and 
these should not develop in a concrete road laid in longitudinal 
strips. 

The strips should not be more than 12 feet wide and transverse 
expansion joints must be placed every 30 ft., or every 90 ft., with 
2 dummy joints between. 

Expansion Joints* 

By using expansion joints the concrete is allowed to 
expand and contract at regular intervals, thus avoiding 
cracks, and fewer joints are required than in the alternate bay 
method. The expansion joints should be Y to Y 
preferably with a premoulded filler composed of asphalt cement, 
with or without a mixture of wood fibre, placed between two slieets 
of impregnated cardboard or felt, wliich acts os a stiffener and 
makes it easter to handle and instal. 



The edges of the joint must be rounded to to radius 
and great care should be tahen that the concrete on either side is 
true to grade This can easily be done by the frequent use of the 
straight edge. 

These joints must be filled periodically with some bitummous 
matenal otherwise wear or abrasion will tahe place. 

The joints are spaced about 30 ft apart and the concrete laid 
as in continuous construction. 

Where poured joint fillers are used a well greased sheet of 
steel IS set m the jomt until the concrete is hard, then removed 
and the jomt filled with heavy tar or hot asphalt. Care must be 
taken that the slieet of steel is secured against deflection 

The joint must remain a true vertical plane to prevent the 
tendency of one section nsmg above the other. 

During the construction of the expansion jomts the premould- 
ed jomt filler may be held in position by several methods such as 
a wood or a metal bulkliead, which is slotted if dowel bars are used 

Metal pins are sometimes used to support the premoulded 
filler. 

Where steel dowel bars are used across transverse expansion 
joints, one half of the bar should be completely encased m a heavy 
paper cardboard tube in such a manner as to prevent adliesion 
between the concrete and the steel, and m addition some form of 
cap must be provided at the end of the bar to provide for sliding.

Dowels arc somcthucs used across tht* longitudinal joint and 
consist usually of f rods 5 ft. long spaced at 5 ft. cenlrt's 

The use of dowel bars in transverse and longitudinal joints 
must be left to the opinion of the ]£nginccr. Their use is bi'comuig 
common practice, but a sufficient length of time has uni yet (‘lapsed 
to enable judgment to be passed on their value. 

Striking or Screeding the Concrete , — ^After the concieU* has 
been dumped on the subgrade it should be spread with shf)vels 
immediately as nearly as possible to the finished camber of the 
road, and then struck off to the correct shape by means of ^ a strike 
board, template or screed working on the side forms. This should 
be moved forward with a combing foiward and timisverse motion, 


and when within about 3 feet of the transverse joint lhi‘ screod 
is lifted to die joint and the concrete struck by moving the screed 
away from the joint. ^

Tamping. 

The concrete should be well cojisolklatod and a tamper 
similar in shape to the screed or strike board is used. Sometimes 
screed and tamper are combined in one implement. 

A gauge board sliding on the forms and provided 'with metal 
fingers to s' apart adjusted to the crown may be used to guide 
the fini^ers. The fingers scratch or fail to mark the concrt'te 
■wherever it is high or low. 

Finishing the eurface. 

It is very essential that all finishing operations be reduced 
to a minimum and tamping should cease at that point when the 
•coarse aggregate is just submerged. 

The ideal concrete road surface has a mosaic appearance, 
that is to say the coarse aggregate is exposed. 

There are several methods of finishing the surface. 

After the concrete surface has been screeded and tamped it 
tnaybe floated by means of a longitudinal float or rolled transversely 
with a roller, , 

The final finishing is done by means of a belt. 

Where the concrete slab Is laid in strips of about lo ft. width 
two screedings and one belting should be the aim as far as faiahing 


and also slowly working forward. Two to four rolling's given 
at 5 to 10 minutes intervals.

The float should be laid on the concrete surface v/ilU its long

wards and fowauls with slow strokes about 3 ft, long and si owl V 
advancmg from one side of the road to the other. 1 his will 
remove any tiansverse waves and produce a uniform t'Ven surface 
on the concrete. 

Finishing Belt. 

This consist:, of a canvas or laibber compoation bc-lt about 8^ 
inches wide with cross-bar handles at each end and 2 ft. longer 
than the width of the pavement. It is operated bv two men. 
Immediately the concrete has been tamped or rolled the bdt 
see-sawed backwards and forwards across the blab willi fairly long' 
strokes about 12 '', slowly advancing ; a second beltdtig is given 


Sometimes a fmal beltmg is given just before the initial set 
and this is with short strokes and rapid advance. This should 
leave a smooth gritty surface. The belt must be cleaned at the 
end of the days work, and thoroughly soalced before being used 
and kept wet. Frequently the belt is oiled to keep it soft and 
prevent the concrete from adhering to it. 

The finished surface of the concrete must be tested by means 
of a light straight edge about lo ft , in length laid paralleled to the 
centre line of the pavement Tins is done just prior to the final 
finisliing operation. 

Brooming. 

Where it is desired to have a roughened surface, this may be 
accomplished by brooming the broom bemg pulled gently over 
the surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the road 
The broom should be of the leaf rake type with flexible prongs 

The brooming is carried out immediately after the belt finish. 

Curing and Protection. 

After the concrete surface has been finished by means of the 
belt it must be prevented from drying out too quickly ; it should 
be covered immediately with canvas, and this must be sprayed 
with water but in such a manner that the surface of the concrete 
will not be damaged, and the canvas is kept moist until the 
following morning It should then be removed and the concrete 
covered with moist earth 6 ^ thick and this must be kept con- 
tinuously,jnoist by spraying for at least 14 days after laying 

The cunng may also be carried out by ponding Earth walls 
or dikes are built along both edges of the slab with cross walls at 
sufficiently frequent intervals, and the slab flooded with enough 
water to completdy cover the concrete and kept flooded for 14 days. 

A sodium silicate solution of calcium chlonde is sometimes 
used to cure the concrete surface 

Hardening the Surface of the Concrete. 

Hardening is effected by appheations of a solution of sodium 
silicate sprayed on the surface by means of a watering can, and 
continuously brushed over the surface with a soft broom for several 
minutes to obtain an even penetration. 

Three applications are given allowmg 24 hours to elapse 
between each. 

The solutibn Should be in the proportions of one part of an 8 
pear solution of commercial sodium silicate to four parts of 

wutar of the solution wUl cover 200 sqi yards. * 

«toKr iw either after the curing is com- 



The surface of the concrete must be dry and free from diu 
before the apphcation of the solution. 

This treatment would be unnecessary where sodium sihcat 
had already been used for cunng. 

Two^Coiurse Roads. 

In two course construction the concrete is deposited rapid! 
on the subgrade to the required depth and for the whole widtl 
between longitudinal joints. The bottom course should be strucl 
off at the correct elevation with a template or screed riding oi 
the side foims, and the top course must be placed within 
minutes after laying the bottom course. 

City Streets* 

AU the foregoing notes will apply generally to city streets 
The concrete slab may be of the same thickness throughout, althougl 
some engineers increase the centre thickness and others the edg< 
thickness.

CHAPTER IV 


CEMENT MACADAM ROADS. 


In a cement macadam road the road metaj or stone is bound 
together by cement mortar, and when properly constructed on a 
gooi uniform foundation it should have a life of at least eight to 
ten years There are roads of a similar construction in Scotland 
which have been in existence for over 50 years with practically no 
repairs. There are others in America which have had a hfe of at 
least 10 years, and to-day these Amencan roads are bemg resurfaced 
with 4^^ to s'' of concrete and on completion they will come under 
the category of first class roads ; that is, they will then be capable 
of carrying the heaviest vehicular traffic. This has been made 
possible by the excellent condition of the old Cement Macadam 
road enablmg it to be used as a foundation for the new concrete 
surface. 

The construction of the cement macadam road is very simple 
and the labour and plant of road building organisations accustomed 
to Waterbound Macadam construction require very httle change 
to adopt them to this form of construction. 

The construction of the cement macadam road is carried out 
in the following manner. 

A good average umfonn foundation is necessary and if the 
old foundation has potholes or ruts it diould be scarified and well 
roUed or the depressions filled with broken stone and thoroughly 
rolled. 

The subgrade must be hard and firm otherwise the mortar will 
percolate mto it. 

If the old road has a fairly impervious surface such as 
tarsprayed or bitummous, brush it well and lay the new surface 
without any further treatment, 

A layer of Y of clean sand is placed between the existing road 
ana the new cement macadam surface. 

The roller should be about 8 to 10 tons in weight and preferably 
of the tandem type, otherwise the front roUer should overlap the 
rear wheels. 

After the subgrade has been prepared, forms are laid on both 
sides of the road if it is to be constructed to the full width, or if 
in half widths one form is laid along the centre of +hp marl 



These forms are laid to the correct line and grade and if of 
wood they should be not less than 4 inches wide and have a depth 
equal to that of the finished work and diould be securely held m 
position. 

Permanent curbs of brick or concrete may be built to act as 
side forms 

After setting the forms, a layer of broken stone of sufficient 
depth to produce half the required thickness of the completed slab 
is spread evenly on the prepared subgrade 

The finished thickness should be approximately 4 ". 

This first layer of broken stone is then rolled to pm the stones 
together, the roller passmg over not more than twice. 

Give a Ught wateimg to remove dust and fine particles. Pre- 
ferably all the stone should be watered before spreading, otherwise 
the 6^ stone will absorb moisture from the mortar. 

Whilst the above operations are being earned out tlie cement 
and sand are nuxed dry m the proportions of one part of cement 
to two parts of sand. This dry mixture is then spread over the 
layer of stone, laid as desenbed above, to a depth of at least one 
mch and on this layer of dry mortar spread another layer of broken 
stone equal m depth to that already laid. The matenals now m 
position consist of approximately 2 ^ inches of stone, resting 
on the subgrade, at least one mch of dry mortar on top of this and 
an upper layer of approximately 2i mches of stone. 

Water is now spnnkled over these matenals, and starting 
from the side of the road and working longitudinally the roller 
should thoroughly consohdate the matenals until the mortar is 
brought to the surface, which will occur in about ten minutes 

An excess of water is to be avoided and the quantity kept 
down to a minimum. 

As soon as the mortar shows up, the surface is given a soft 
brushmg. 

Rolling is continued until the slurry has worked up and all 
raw patches have been filled. 

These raw patches should not occur and are mainly due to 
too much water or insufficient mortar between the layers of stones. 
Any voids or raw places are filled with grout after the section lias 
been completely rolled.

1+ Id iTn-nncQi'hlp fnr tlip mllpr to rnnsnlidate anv nart 



Immediately a section is completed the surface should be 
covered with moist canvas and this is kept moist until the following 
morning. The Cement Macadam surface must then be prevented 
from drying out too rapidly by any of the customary methods for 
curing concrete such as moist earth or ponding, and this curing is 
continued for at least 14 days. 

The same care must be taken in curing a Cement Macadam 
road as would be taken in an ordinary concrete road. 

To remove any inequahties such as roller wheel marks, a 
g'^X 6 " screed long enough to work over the side^ forms may be 
used with a tamping movement after the rolling is completed, or 
a hand roller used transversely may be employed. The screed 
must be shaped to the camber of the road. 

It is important that the roller should not pass over any portion 
of the Cement Macadam which has already set, and rolhng opera- 
tions must not be continued over any section for a period longer 
than xi hours in cold and one hour in hot weather. It is essential 
that this period be carefully observed and that the time be reckoned 
from the moment the water is sprinkled over the prepared material. 

The area that can be rolled in one hour is approximately 30 
to 40 sq yards or a length of 22 to 30 ft. of a 12 foot width of 
roadway. Too large a section should not be attempted at first 
until expenence has indicated what area can be completed by the 
organisation in the time limit of i to i J hours allowed for rolling. 

The end of each section should be clearly defined by means 
of secured timbers, and care must be taken that the roller does 
not pass over the previous section. 

To avoid damage, the top layer of stone must not be placed 
•within a foot of any finished work, and this should be dealt with 
by a man or men specially detained who will complete the part by 
adding the required stone and consolidate it by means of a hand 
tamper. The level across the jomt must be carefully checked by 
the use of a straight edge 

This last injunction is important iis the construction joints 
being numerous in this type of road unevenness will be noticeable, 
and will also tend to abrasion at these joints. 

When the construction is carried out in half widths great 
care must be taken that the side whed of the roller does not work 
on the edge of the finished slab along the longitudinal joint. 

After the new section has been consolidated, the roUer may 
straddle the longitudinal joint and leVd it off. 

If the edge of the finished dab shmH be broken down or 
crushed bv the roller the > 



To finish oft the day's work a timber baulk is laid down trans- 
versely and spiked. The following morning it can be lifted and 
there should be a clean, vertical consolidated face to work to. Work 
will then begin in the same manner, the stone being spread up to 
the joint and tlie dry mortar deposited well into it It wiU be 
obvious that the roller must not run over the previous days work 
and can only roll up to the joint and not over it. The joint must 
be carefully levelled by rammmg by hand. 

If desired the surface may be treated with siUcate of soda. 

An experimental length of Cement Macadam road was laid 
in Lucknow in accordance with the method just descnbed, and 
after canying heavy traf&c for about a year the surface to-day 
shows no indication of wear or crackmg. 

The cost of this road surface which is approximately 4" thick 
wdb Ps 2-2 per square yard exclusive of overhead charges, 

SpedficatLons for a Cement Macadam road may be had gratis 
by applying to the Secretary, the Concrete Association of India, 
Bombay.

In order to avoid repetition, some items m the above hst appear 
under one heading only, though the particular product mentioned, 
may also be common to the others ; it is therefore necessary to 
bear this in mind when using the hst for reference purposes. 

These concrete umts are not only stronger and more capable 
of hard usage, but they can be economically manufactured and 
compete very favourably, sometimes with a lar§[e margin of profit 
with similar articles at present manufactured m other mater^s, 
whether these are stone-ware, burnt clay, dressed stone, cast iron 
or any other material. 

Concrete products are made either near or at the site of works 
where they vnM be reqmred or manufactured commercially at a 
speaal factory erected and equipped for the purpose. 

With a view to furnishing some particulars on the costs of 
various umts to prospective manufacturers of cona*ete products, 
expemnents were carried out by a representative of Concrete 
Assoaation of India at one of the cement Manufacturing Com- 
pames' Works where there is installed a small experimental Con- 
crete Products Factory. Careful measurements of all materials 
used were taken and the time required to make various articles 
was recorded. Thus the actual cost of Labour and Matenals 
was arrived at. 

The results of these experiments are given m the accompany- 
ing tables From these it can easily be seen that, even m the 
experimental stages concrete roofing tiles, blocks, pipes, balustra- 
ding, etc , can be made at economical figures though tlie tests were 
earned out with untraiued workmen and all the concrete was 
handmixed which requires more labour -than if a concrete mixer 
had been used. 

In order to amve at actual estimates of cost of manufactunng 
these m a busmesi^ concern, there are of course several additions 
to be made, such as cost of ef&aent supervision, plant, rent of site, 
and buildings, etc , before an economic seUing pnee can be arrived 
at ; but even with normal additions for these items it will be seen 
that there are many places, where local sand is good and cheap, 
at which there can stdl be a considerable margm of profit m manu- 
factunng concrete products. 

The cost of labour and materials mentioned in the accompany- 
ing tables can be considerably reduced when manufacture is con- 
ducted on a large scale.

and complete diffusion of stresses, the 
bonding surface being eleven times as 
great as the same effective area of reinforc-

SELF-SENTERING 

acts as both a reinforcement and frame- 
work for all types of reinforced concrete 
structures. 

SELF-SENTERING 

gives a perfect key for plaster on the

MALTHOID 

ROOFING 

Many years of intensive experience have enabled us 
to evolve MALTHOID specifications suitable for : — 

REINFORCED or LIME CONCRETE ROOFS, 

TILED and TIMBER ROOFS, CORRUGATED 
IRON ROOFS, ROOFS of RAILWAY COACHING 
STOCK, TRAMCARS, BUSES, Etc., 

ROOFS and DECKS of LAUNCHES and 
STEAMERS, Etc., 

RESERVOIRS, SETTLEMENT TANKS, SWIM- 
MING BATHS, BASEMENTS, GUTTERS, 
FOUNDATION WALLS, Etc., Etc. 

The process of laying Reinforced MALTHOID does 
not inconveiuence the occupants of the bmlding 
as the existing roof is not disturbed The weight of 
MALTHOID IS negligible ; our heaviest specification 
only weighs about 4 lbs per sq ft. We maintain 
the largest organization of highly trained water- 
proofing specialists in the East for handling water- 
proofing problems and this staft is entirely at your 
service. 

SpecifioatioDB, quotations and made-up samples will 
be sent on application without obligation. We only 
require to ^ow the approximate area, location and 
particulars of the type of roof to be waterproofed, i.e,, 
if of flat or slopmg concrete, tiles, timber, corrugated 
iron, etc.

THE ROCK OF AGES 

The Cement Gim is the recognised modern method of rooou*' 
ditiomng concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry and other similar 
structures, and also for hrung tunnels, facing the walls of buildings, 
dams, canals, and for many other purposes. 

It blows on the concrete mixture by means of compressed 
air, and is the only known method of secunng a perfect joint 
between the mixture and the structure. 

The “Gunite” is denser and one-third stronger than ordinary 
concrete of the same mixture, and quite impervious to water 
even at great pressure.
